Disruption and damage of an electrooptic modulator by pulsed microwaves

These results demonstrate the ability of a commercial LiNbO 3 EO modulator to withstand damage from direct pulsed RF input up to 200 W. However, short-term disruption occurred at a few Watts, which suggests a need for improved modulator thermal design.
